Giftedness

GIFTEDNESS

What did you do 
With what I gave you?

Pop music superstar
NASA space engineer
Brown’s Auto service manager
Stylist at Julie’s Hair and Nails
Mom and Pop’s Diner waitress
Church choir director

Talent, ability, giftedness
From a simple smile
To directing a nation
All mankind has been given
Good to share with others
Gifts freely bestowed on us
By our gracious Creator

The power to choose
How we will use
God’s gifts
For good or for evil
Is the responsibility
Each of us carries
One day we will 
Face our Creator
To give an answer
But the motive of our heart
Is the key
